I know I'm about a half a decade behind on reading them, but man oh man I LOVE THEM!!! Books are soooo much better than the movies!!! And yes....they have spiced up my love life LOL

Still Alive.....

We are alive, I promise!! Wow, I am sooo bad at this! But my excuse IS legitimate...we moved, AGAIN...and have not had the internet. I may or may not be sitting outside of a hotel *borrowing their internet (:   Anywho....things are going pretty great, I really really miss Logan....but Pocatello is growing on me!  Ryann is quite the girl....She is going to be 9 months old this week, and I love every minute I am with her.  I am so blessed to be able to stay home with her.  She has such a fun little personality, and is sSSSSOOOOOOOO BUSY!!!! She loves to crawl everywhere (finally up on her hands and knees) and stand up on everything in sight, which has resulted in some head bonks :(  she is so fearless, she just bails off of everything like she thinks she can walk away.  Heaven Help me cause I know she will be soon...    She also got her ears pierced this week, and it is soooo adorable!!!  Also in the mix, I am trying to get my business started up here. I make baby quilts, headbands, and cute flowers and bows! So wish me luck!!! Will is just dandy, he is so much happier here...it has helped his stress levels decrease immensely!!! I also made him start doing his hair in a faux hawk, and its super hot!!! So things are going pretty good!  Anywho....besides that, just every single one of my friends is preggo this year.....too bad I had to be fat alone last year lol. P.s. isn't ryanns easter picture sooo cute!!!?  XOXO

Twitterpation!

Ahhh I am so ready for Spring Spring SPRIIIIIING!!! Logan is the most beautiful place when everything turns green, it reminds me of my home state of Washington!!! The weather has mostly been beautiful lately, so I have done alot of spring cleaning (interruption: Will just said "CRAP!" really loud, so I looked down at Ryann and saw that she had given Tanzi her pickle HAHA!) the only room I have left in the house to finish up is Ryann's, so I just need to get some paint to start!!! I also got the nerve to finally chop my hair off!! I have had long hair for about 7 years now, and just needed something new.  Not to mention Ryann has a love of hair and fuzzy things, so I was constantly (Interruption: Ryann just fed Tanzi her new pickle Daddy got for her LOL) Constantly prying my hair out of her death grip! I have avoided cutting my hair for a while now because I dread the term "mom haircut" but I don't even care I love it, it is so nice to be able to do my hair in 10-15 minutes!!!
 And of course I can't post pics without one of my little Buggy!!!

As of Late...

This past weekend we stayed up at our Sis-In-Law Jocelyn's parent's Beautiful cabin at Bear Lake.  It was only a short 3 day trip, but it was so much fun! We swam at the pool and sat in the hot tub, cooked yummy food, the boys went snowmobiling, and jocey and I did crafts!!! Ryann is such a waterworm, she just loves the pool! And Scary as it was, I bared meh legs for the first time in months lol.  It was good to spend time with family we don't get to see too often~  Then we came home Monday night, and on Tuesday we had a Xango Party at our condo.  Justin Prince, a Xango Premier that Will and I have been working with and respect so much, took time to come to our home and give a little presentation and answer questions about our business.  It was so wonderful, I made chicken, gnocchi, and cheese tortellini soup, a bunch of people we love showed up, and we had such a good time!!! My mom and little sis Hallie also drove out from Casper to come stay for a few days, and we have been having loads of fun.  Ryann is so spoiled by her Grandma LJ, she bought her some cute new clothes, and even let her pick out her very own first cell phone today haha! She loves it!!!

So...

Today I am in a weird mood.  I just don't know what to do with myself...does anyone else ever feel like this? I feel like I don't have one friend in the whole entire world, and nothing at all to do.  When in reality I have a million things I could get done.  I just need a vacation.  Bad.

February

Well I have been terrible this month at my posting, I just can't believe how fast it has gone by!!! My baby girl is six months, my hubby is 28, and they are just the cutest things in the whole world-so I decided to post some pictures of their big month!!! Ryann gets so tired, she actually falls asleep in her jumperoo all the time, and even mid-bite in her bumbo!!! She is such a big girl, she weighs 17 lbs, loves bananas, veggie baby food, to crawl and get into anything that shes not supposed to, puppies, other little kids, anything fuzzy or soft (especially hair!), power cords for some reason, and has to try everything that big people are eating!!! Also, on a gross note, everytime she goes poo poo, she makes this really shrill high pitched inhaling noise, seriously its creepy lol. We call her the exorcist whenever she has to go :D. she is so funny.  She is always jumping, in or out of her jumperoo, which makes eating a real chore, not to mention her recent fascination with bobbing her head up and down~! She also blows bubbles with her baby food, and makes a terrible mess, but it is so funny I can't care that I'm covered in peas! Her hair is getting so light I can't believe it, she is going to be a total little strawberry blonde! I love her chubby rolls, I never want them to go away!!! (If they could stick around til shes like 16 or so that would be great...Stay away boys!)  She is just so much fun, I love her so much it makes my heart hurt! I just want to squeeze her as hard as I can!!! (I definitely won't though ;)) Will and I have been keeping busy with Xango, we love it so much! We have gone on quite a few dates this month, and have developed a loving relationship with this amazing little italian restaurant called Le Nonne, and it is totally to die for!!! We also painted a wall in our living room tan, we love it! We are working on painting one in our bedroom gray, and one in Ryann's room a sorbet pink! I finished a quilt for Ryann's crib, and am working on the crib skirt-pictures to come! So, nothing too crazy has been going on around here, just lovin and livin life!!! 
 

  
 
                                             P.S. I got a dyson ball vacuum, and it is hands down the most amazing vacuum I have ever used!!! LOVE IT!! Worth every penny!!!

My little Ry Ry is officially six months old, and she is getting so big!!! She had her six month check up today, she weighs 17 lbs 4 oz, and is 26 inches long~ She also had to get four shots, and she screamed like nobodys business for a minute or two, but has been pretty good since.  She is such a little sweetheart, and has got so much personality already.  95% of the time she is all gummy smiles and giggles, and the other 5% she is very impatient! She has so much fun in her jumperoo, I can't get her to stop kicking her legs even after I take her out of it! She is hilarious in it! She also LOVES puppies!!! She thinks they are so funny, she laughs so much at them and it is the cutest thing in the world! She is into everything already, and has a certain attraction to cords...I know right-I am in big trouble.  She totally says Mama! Like all day everyday! She may not fully understand what she is saying, but it still makes me sooo happy! She has even said Dada a few times! You know, she is probably just making noise-but I am going to pretend that she is saying our names anyways! :D She loves to be at church, sacrament hymns are her very favorite! Even when she was in my belly she would go nuts kicking me when we would sing.  She gets a big old smile on her face and is just so excited.  She also has a thing for books, so you can imagine my frustration while I'm trying to hold the hymn book.  Surprisingly enough, she doesn't really taste the books so much as she does feel and look at them! She really is just fascinated by them, and everytime I open one up, she starts to jabber like she is reading haha!  Her favorite thing to eat is bananas, she seriously loves them~we freeze them on popsicle sticks for her and she gobbles them down! She doesn't so much love rice cereal, but we are going through oatmeal banana cereal like you can't believe! She likes to try and help feed herself, which usually ends up with a generous spoonful plopping onto her forehead.  She hates peas, Daddy tried to feed them to her the other day and she was gagging! She refused to eat them haha!  I have noticed that she is such a determined little thing.....She will stop at nothing to get her hands on what she wants, and if she doesn't want something, well lets just say you better get it out of her face asap! She has the funniest little laugh, and is seriously the most amazing thing that has ever happened to us.  She is our sunshine, which Will reminds her of every morning upon her awakening by singing "You Are My Sunshine" to her, and she loves it.  I cannot put into words how much we love her, it is indescribable.  I never knew my heart could ever get so full.  I have gained a true understanding of the unconditional love of my own parents, and am so very grateful for all they have done for me.  I have also realized how very blessed I am to have her, and how much it breaks my heart that some people will never have what I have. I am also so confused at what some people do with the great gift of parenthood, when so many others would give anything to have the chance to have a child in their life.  I do know that Heavenly Father has a certain plan for each of us, and we have to do the best with what we have been dealt, and will someday be rewarded for our efforts.  I know I am so blessed in so many ways....and I know that when I count my blessings, that little Miss Ryann Elise is one of the first things that come to my mind.

My Sweetheart's 28th!



My dear sweet Will is officially 28 years young today, so I am dedicating this post to his wonderful existence! I am so incredibly blessed to have him in my life, granted the road to him was a rocky one, but God definitely had His hand in our meeting, and sure knew what He was doing!!! I have never met a more spontaneous, caring, and patient person . He is the superman swirl of ice cream-Surprising and Bright, the chewy gobstopper of candy-Yummy on the outside, and even better on the inside! He is the reason I wake up every morning, and the reason I go to bed with a smile on my face. He makes up for every inch I lack, and puts me up on a pedestal I'm certain I am not worthy of.  I have won the lottery of life partners, and am so grateful for every moment God has given me with Will Brummond's presence in my life. Happy Birthday Baby, Celebrating your life only one day out of each year is an abomination, you are a gift to this world, and everyday should be dedicated to your Awesome-Ness~!!! ILoveU
